Cf. Boucher, S. & Tassinari, S., Musée de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine a Lyon: Bronzes Antiques I. Inscriptions, Statuaire, Vaisselle Lyon, 1976, item 96, for type; see also a similar statuette in Louvre, inventory no.214498, in Boucher, S., Recherches sur les bronzes figurés de Gaule pré-Romaine et Romaine, Rome, Ecole Française de Rome, ( Bibliothèque des écoles Françaises d'Athènes et de Rome, 228), 1976, p.40, no. 380.
FootnotesMany deposits of Gallo-Roman statuettes contain votive statuettes not particularly linked to the classical artistic style. The temple deposits in which these animalistic statuettes (series of stags or boars) were discovered were certainly Roman, but the animals could have belonged to cults of Celtic origin.
